Lynda Barry

Lynda Barry
The point of the daily diary exercise is not to record what you already know about what happened to you in the last 24 hours. Instead, it’s an invitation to the back of your mind to come forward and reveal to you the perishable images about the day you didn’t notice you noticed at all.
Lynda Barry
I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.
Lynda Barry
Love will make a way out of no way
Lynda Barry
My goal on my bucket list is to write a romantic comedy movie.
Lynda Barry
When I work on a book, I usually start with a question. And I don't sit around and go I need to write a book. What's a good question? It will be a question that's just clanging around in my head.
